Gerry McGovern is an English Design Director for Land Rover and Range Rover, leading the company's Design Studio at Gaydon, Warwickshire, creating concepts and new models. A strong advocate of design's relevance to brand equity, he is a member of the Land Rover board of Management.[1]

Returning to the UK in 2003 as Creative Director of Lugeii, Ford’s design and creativity centre, Ingeni in Soho, London, McGovern rejoined Land Rover as Director, Advanced Design in April 2004. Explaining why, McGovern said "Land Rover fascinates me more than any other car maker because it has its roots in pure design as opposed to styling.[1] Ford’s Group VP Design, J Mays, noted that "Gerry is uniquely suited to this role. He's already shown the world that he fully understands Land Rover's DNA." [2]

McGovern’s first new introduction was the LRX concept – only the second concept car from the company, the first being Range Stormer. LRX was subsequently confirmed for 2011 production and introduced as the compact two litre Range Rover Evoque, with 130gm anticipated CO2 emissions of 130g/km. The Range Rover Evoque will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient Range Rover ever.[3] Gerry McGovern has also guided the evolution of the 2010 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4,[4] the latter going on sale globally in September 2009. In 2008 McGovern was elected to the Land Rover Board.
